Prior to this interaction, the pioneer Commissioner for Homeland Security had hosted Chairmanship and Councilor Aspirants in Aboh Mbaise at his Lorji country home on August 20, 2024.

He noted that he was impressed with the pool of excellent aspirants who stepped up to be considered by the party.

According to the former Commissioner, the choice of Alaribe was a surprise, “but there can’t be a more experienced administrator, a more cerebral politician, and a better trained professional than the now consensus candidate Alaribe,” he opined.

“Alaribe is a founding, long standing member of the APC in Imo State.

“He chaired the event at which I declared for the APC in 2015,” Ugorji revealed.

“Alaribe has served” Ugorji continued, “as a Commissioner in the Okorocha APC administration, as DG of a statewide gubernatorial campaign of the APC, and as the Campaign Council Chairman for the APC in Aboh Mbaise LGA under Governor Uzodimma.

“Oh yes, he is prepared and experienced.”

Dr. Ugorji said he prays for Alaribe to bring wisdom and circumspection to the governance of the local government.

“It will be important for him to align Aboh Mbaise with the development vision of Governor Hope Uzodimma, as well as with the justice orientation of the people of Aboh Mbaise,” he stated.

Dr. Ugorji pledged to campaign for and with Alaribe towards victory on September 21st.

“We will go out and earn the support of the great people of Aboh Mbaise. And I believe Alaribe will make the Executive Chairman’s position a model in Imo State,” he assured.
